Telling Tales – an afternoon of Gorebridge Stories, Sharing and Soup

We hope you can join us at the Gorebridge Beacon on Saturday the 5th of November (1.30 – 5PM) as we delve into the heritage of Gorebridge with an afternoon of soup, stories and song. We will also lay out for you the Gorebridge Archives.

As part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival* we will be joined by a Storyteller who will be telling the tales of Camp Meg, Annie Swan, the riot at Gorebridge Police Station, the fatal explosion at Gorebridge Gunpowder Works and the life of the Pit Pony.

You can take part in the Daunder Walk where you will learn about Nancy Teuch (yes, that path), the Emily Pit and Baths, the North and South Bings and Laundry Cottages – where you will learn about the most recent find in Gorebridge.

At the heart of the day is the sharing of stories, welcoming people, and kindness. You will have lots of time to talk together at our Fable Table where you can reminisce with others throughout the afternoon.

So, what’s your story? What do you want to share? What are you bringing to the table?

Let’s come together and share, we will provide the soup and bread to share.

Timings of the day’s events will be posted here soon. Or follow us on Facebook.
